> ARTDNA
> 2008
> ARTDNA, like the Wishing Ceremony, was situated in
a busy public space. ARTDNA is a large green booth
which invites members of the public to enter and
interact. The space has been created so that
individuals can share facts and details about their
family history. Viewers were asked to participate by
simply writing any fact about their family on one of
the spaces provided. Interaction and participation are
central to Sally’s work and over 4,000 people
interacted with ARTDNA.

> ARTNAOS
> 2007
> ARTNAOS was an interactive work by Sally Sheinman.
The piece consisted of a brightly painted wooden
cubicle, it was a contemplative private space for one
person to enter and spend quite time alone. With space
outside to write – and symbolically divest oneself of –
worries, the structure was envisaged as a ritual
chamber which participants can enter, drawing strength
and nurturing within for their personal healing.
Inspired by religious and psychotherapeutic practices,
the work echoes the idea of the holy shrines located
within ancient Egyptian and Classical Greek temples
which were believed to house the gods.Learn

> 2006
> ANNOUNCEMENTS This commission consists of 50
pieces. Each piece contains a painting, text and
Perspex. The text was developed by the South and East
Belfast Trust and relates to issues and thoughts
concerning the staff and users of the facility. The
pieces are placed throughout the building in hidden
places, often higher and lower than normal - little
unexpected pleasures.Learn

> ARTKACINA
> 2006
> ARTKACINA was created to celebrate the experiences
and achievements of Firstsite. Artkacina draws on
Sally’s interests in mythology, community and
storytelling. After visiting the gallery, Sally was
inspired to create a work that would capture the
vitality, energy and spirit of Firstsite’s last eleven
years. Sheinman has created 544 artkacina – referencing
‘kachina’; native American dolls traditionally used to
teach children about characters from Hopi Indian
mythology. The intricately painted hand-held sculptures
are accompanied by words which are all inspired by
irstsite.Learn
